riv content: this bike has schwalbe marathons and cheapie thumb levers
i bought from riv.

i am selling my bridgestone NB-26 mountain bike to fund other
projects. i hate to let it go. it seems to be an anomoly. not featured
in the bridgestone catalogs. has the 1993 paint scheme. measured 21.5
center to top. 4130 P.G.(plain gauge) tubes. stout like tank. has
lotsa eyelets and clearance for gigantic tires.
original compenents:
araya rims/ shimano exage hub wheels
headset
bottom bracket
brakes

new stuff:
new(less than 100 miles) schwalbe marathon 47x559
new shimano super cheapie derailers
new chain
used cheapie thumbshifters that riv sells
new seatpost

this is a project bike. it will need:
cabling
stem
bars
levers
grips
saddle

anyway, i want $150 plus shipping (prolly$125 depending on your
location). if you think im way off base tell me and well go from
there. email for pics.
thanks to you all for your time

That's an MB-6ish mid-'93 stab at RapidFire shifters before all MBs
converted to them in '94. I learned this when Grant answered my letter
that year enquiring about the quality of my new-to-me Motobecane by
startling me with a phone call (I knew nothing about bikes at the
time). He told me "NB" stood for New Bike or No Brainer, as in "no-
brainer click click shifting".

The price for a plain gauge project is a little high, in my opinion.
